tty: add SPDX identifiers to Kconfig and Makefiles There were a few Kconfig and Makefiles under drivers/tty/ that were missing a SPDX identifier. Fix that up so that automated tools can properly classify all kernel source files.

tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway. bloat-o-meter output is below. The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies. bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk '$3 != "-"' as the list was very long. add/remove: 0/226 grow/shrink: 2/14 up/down: 6/-35356 (-35350) function old new delta chr_dev_init 166 170 +4 allow_signal 80 82 +2 static.__warned 143 142 -1 disallow_signal 63 62 -1 __set_special_pids 95 94 -1 unregister_console 126 121 -5 start_kernel 546 541 -5 register_console 593 588 -5 copy_from_user 45 40 -5 sys_setsid 128 120 -8 sys_vhangup 32 19 -13 do_exit 1543 1526 -17 bitmap_zero 60 40 -20 arch_local_irq_save 137 117 -20 release_task 674 652 -22 static.spin_unlock_irqrestore 308 260 -48 Signed-off-by: Joe Millenbach <jmillenbach@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Jamey Sharp <jamey@minilop.net> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Note that CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is already dependant on CONFIG_VT. The function pm_set_vt_switch is actually dependant on CONFIG_VT and not CONFIG_PM_SLEEP. This fixes a compile error when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is not set: drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:1794: error: redefinition of 'pm_set_vt_switch' include/linux/suspend.h:17: error: previous definition of 'pm_set_vt_switch' was here Also, remove the incorrect path from the comment in console.c.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help' Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

tty: synclink_gt: remove broken driver The synclink_gt driver was marked as broken in commit 426263d5fb40 ("tty: synclink_gt: mark as BROKEN") in July 2023 because it had severe structural problems and there had been no evidence of users since 2016. Since then, no meaningful improvements have been made to the driver, and it is unlikely that will ever happen due to the lack of interest. Drop the driver and references to it in comments and documentation. include/uapi/linux/synclink.h is also removed. The only use of this header I have found is the linux-raw-sys Rust crate. It generates bindings for all UAPI headers, but has a hardcoded list of headers and ioctls, including this one, so that does not indicate that anyone is using it. I have sent a pull request to remove the include and ioctl definitions for this header (see the link below).

This saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway. bloat-o-meter output is below. The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies. bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by removing TTY.

TTY: Add MIPS EJTAG Fast Debug Channel TTY driver Add TTY driver and consoles for the MIPS EJTAG Fast Debug Channel (FDC), which is found on the per-CPU MIPS Common Device Mapped Memory (CDMM) bus. The FDC is a per-CPU device which is used to communicate with an EJTAG probe. RX and TX FIFOs exist, containing 32-bits of data and 4-bit channel numbers. 16 general data streams are implemented on this for TTY and console use by encoding up to 4 bytes on each 32-bit FDC word. The TTY devices are named e.g. /dev/ttyFDC3c2 for channel 2 of the FDC attached to logical CPU 3. These can be used for getting the kernel log, a login prompt, or as a GDB remote transport, all over EJTAG and without needing a serial port. It can have an interrupt to notify of when incoming data is available in the RX FIFO or when the TX FIFO is no longer full. The detection of this interrupt occurs in architecture / platform code, but it may be shared with the timer and/or performance counter interrupt. Due to the per-CPU nature of the hardware, all outgoing TTY data is written out from a kthread which is pinned to the appropriate CPU. The console is not bound to a specific CPU, so output will appear on the chosen channel on whichever CPU the code is executing on. Enable with e.g. console=fdc1 in kernel arguments. /dev/console is bound to the same channel on the boot CPU's FDC if it exists.

ttyFDC: Implement KGDB IO operations. Implement KGDB IO operations for MIPS Fast Debug Channel (FDC). This can be enabled via Kconfig, which also allows the channel number to be chosen. The magic sysrq hack is implemented in the TTY driver, detecting just ^C for the KGDB channel, and ^O followed by a letter for the FDC console channel. The KGDB operations are reasonably efficient thanks to the flush callback, with a 4 byte buffer being used in both directions to allow up to 4 bytes to be encoded per FDC word. Reading of data for KGDB will discard any data received on other channels, which clearly isn't ideal, but given that there is a single FIFO shared between channels we can't do much better.

ttyFDC: Implement KGDB IO operations. Implement KGDB IO operations for MIPS Fast Debug Channel (FDC). This can be enabled via Kconfig, which also allows the channel number to be chosen. The magic sysrq hack is implemented in the TTY driver, detecting just ^C for the KGDB channel, and ^O followed by a letter for the FDC console channel. The KGDB operations are reasonably efficient thanks to the flush callback, with a 4 byte buffer being used in both directions to allow up to 4 bytes to be encoded per FDC word. Reading of data for KGDB will discard any data received on other channels, which clearly isn't ideal, but given that there is a single FIFO shared between channels we can't do much better.

Revert "init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no console" This reverts commit 757055ae8dedf5333af17b3b5b4b70ba9bc9da4e. The commit caused that ttynull was used as the default console on several systems[1][2][3]. As a result, the console was blank even when a better alternative existed. It happened when there was no console configured on the command line and ttynull_init() was the first initcall calling register_console(). Or it happened when /dev/ did not exist when console_on_rootfs() was called. It was not able to open /dev/console even though a console driver was registered. It tried to add ttynull console but it obviously did not help. But ttynull became the preferred console and was used by /dev/console when it was available later. The commit tried to fix a historical problem that have been there for ages. The primary motivation was the commit 3cffa06aeef7ece30f6 ("printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console="" or console=null"). It provided a clean solution for a workaround that was widely used and worked only by chance. This revert causes that the console="" or console=null command line options will again work only by chance. These options will cause that a particular console will be preferred and the default (tty) ones will not get enabled. There will be no console registered at all. As a result there won't be stdin, stdout, and stderr for the init process. But it worked exactly this way even before. The proper solution has to fulfill many conditions: + Register ttynull only when explicitly required or as the ultimate fallback. + ttynull should get associated with /dev/console but it must not become preferred console when used as a fallback. Especially, it must still be possible to replace it by a better console later. Such a change requires clean up of the register_console() code. Otherwise, it would be even harder to follow. Especially, the use of has_preferred_console and CON_CONSDEV flag is tricky. The clean up is risky. The ordering of consoles is not well defined. And any changes tend to break existing user settings. Do the revert at the least risky solution for now.

printk: Add an option to allow ttynull to be a default console device The new option is CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE. if enabled, and CONFIG_VT is disabled, ttynull will become the default primary console device. ttynull will be the only console device usually with this option enabled. Some architectures do call add_preferred_console() which may add another console though. Motivation: Many distributions ship with CONFIG_VT enabled. On tested desktop hardware if CONFIG_VT is disabled, the default console device falls back to /dev/ttyS0 instead of /dev/tty. This could cause issues in user space, and hardware problems: 1. The user space issues include the case where /dev/ttyS0 is disconnected, and the TCGETS ioctl, which some user space libraries use as a probe to determine if a file is a tty, is called on /dev/console and fails. Programs that call isatty() on /dev/console and get an incorrect false value may skip expected logging to /dev/console. 2. The hardware issues include the case if a user has a science instrument or other device connected to the /dev/ttyS0 port, and they were to upgrade to a kernel that is disabling the CONFIG_VT option, kernel logs will then be sent to the device connected to /dev/ttyS0 unless they edit their kernel command line manually. The new CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE option will give users and distribution maintainers an option to avoid this. Disabling CONFIG_VT and enabling CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE will ensure the default kernel console behavior is not dependent on hardware configuration by default, and avoid unexpected new behavior on devices connected to the /dev/ttyS0 serial port.

tty: ldisc: add sysctl to prevent autoloading of ldiscs By default, the kernel will automatically load the module of any line dicipline that is asked for. As this sometimes isn't the safest thing to do, provide a sysctl to disable this feature. By default, we set this to 'y' as that is the historical way that Linux has worked, and we do not want to break working systems. But in the future, perhaps this can default to 'n' to prevent this functionality.

tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway. bloat-o-meter output is below. The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies. bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by removing TTY.
